​American businessman Harvey Goldstein of Indonesia has a deep interest and an almost 50-year history in Southeast Asia, where he settled to build business and promote private-sector growth. Harvey Goldstein has established businesses in Indonesia, USA, and Singapore. His Indonesia-based business, Harvest International Inc., provides venture capital and consulting assistance to foreign and local entrepreneurs.

In all his business ventures, Harvey Goldstein has sought to encourage foreign direct investment in the developing markets of Southeast Asia. As an educator and philanthropist, Mr. Goldstein has also sought to bring educational opportunities to the communities his businesses serve. His work as chairman of the Southeast Asia Advisory Group of Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) has allowed him to provide some of these opportunities.

Harvey Goldstein sees internationalization as key to economic growth in Southeast Asia. His work with the advisory group - and his personal support of CTY through scholarships to financially disadvantaged, academically gifted Singapore students - help prepare the region for increased international business by preparing these students to become future business leaders.
